<s PAGE 18-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JULY 21^ 1972 School Buys Lot For Trades Home; Views Fiscal Problem The High School District 156 board of education, in regular meeting Tuesday night, ap­ proved the purchase of a lot in Eastwood Manor Subdivision, Unit No. 3, for the construction of a home by the Building Trades class next year. The price was $3,000. In reviewing payments, the board noted that many late bills have been arriving in recent weeks in connection with the home just completed. Whereas it was previously estimated that a profit of about $5,000 would be realized through its sale, the figure will be nearer $1,500. Individual board members questioned some of the bills and suggested a more detailed system. In reviewing the financial condition of the district, it was revealed that the debt at the end of the fiscal year July 1 was about $900,000. The very high figure was blamed, in part, to a change in fiscal year payments. Without these changes, the figure would be about $780,000. The indebtedness July 1,1971, was $465,000. The administration explained that with the arrival of tax money, it i$ hoped that about $200,000 of the indebtedness erased. / Several teaching contracts were approved, with one dissenting vote, that of Clint Claypool. In expressing his negative vote on all of the- contracts, Claypool said he felt the board must cut back and make classes larger. " Approved were Mrs. Gaye Boland for re-employment to replace Mrs. Alice Platz as Business Education teacher at West campus; Kathleen Joy Everitt, French-Spanish teacher at East; Mrs. Mary Ann Pelle, Home economics at East; Terry Finken, Business Education at East and Miss Mary Ann Hauge, Girls' Physical Education and Dean of Girls at East. For the position of office secretary at East campus, Gwen Smith was approved to replace Marie Bergin. The board approved a con­ tractual agreement between the State of Illinois Board of Vocational Education and Rehabilitation, Division of Vocational and Technical Education, and the District 156 board for the Work Experience and Career Exploration program from July 1, 1972, to July 1, 1973. A report on the program, which wasJil1 existence at East campus for only two and a half months, indicated that at­ tendance was vastly improved, grades improved only slightly and considerable improvement in attitude toward school was displayed. It is the opinion of the district that the program has con­ siderable potential. The bidding of items for the 1972-73 year was completed, with Industrial Arts and Building Trades material and equipment bid on a per item basis. - The Woodstock Dairy bid was accepted for "milk, $21,222; Schoeps for ice cream and Purity Baking Co., to furnish bread, approximate total, $3,004.

He urges everyone who is con­ cerned to participate in the state hearings so that all sides will be heard. He concluded by stating that no one is more interested in fair assessment than the county board. "If the state finds ways that our assessment practices can be improved, you can count on the county board to support those improvements," Buss concluded. Plans for public hearings to review assessment practices in McHenry county were disclosed by Richard J. Kissel, special assistant to the director of the Illinois Department of Local Government Affairs. Kissel was appointed by the governor in April, 1972, to review assessment practices in Illinois. He has offices at 309 W. Washington St., Chicago. In announcing the hearings, Kissel said: "At the time of my appointment, the governor directed that we look into a s s e s s m e n t p r a c t i c e s throughout the state, beginning with those in Cook county. This investigation has begun and will be completed in the fall. "Recently, the Governor's office has received complaints from taxpayers in McHenry county that the assessments in thaf county are being unfairly made. Requests have been made by interested citizens that the state look into those assessment practices and, if necessary, take action to alleviate the burdens placed on individual taxpayers in that county. "In order to accomplish this, the department plans to hold public hearings in order to hear what the people in McHenry county feel the assessment practices should be." Citizens and taxpayers in McHenry County are invited to participate in the hearings and to present their views of the property tax assessments, Kissel said. Those who wish to participate in the hearings should telephone Ralph Berke or Scott Sanger at 312-793-5544. After the hearings are completed, Kissell will prepare and submit a report detailing his findings. This report will serve as a basis for deter­ mining whether the state should take action in the McHenry assessment process. Kissel, 35, a Lake Forest attorney, heads a Sftventeen- person research team of" students from DePaul, N thwestern and Loyola 1 schools.

Then,. after considerable wrangling, somebody in a delegate huddle nudged a few others and suggested, "Let George Do* It". It was about time. George had been waiting & do it for eighteen months. And so the vote took place and a delighted and enthusiastic McGovern picked as his theme songs, "I've Got The World On A String" and "Brerylning's Coming Up Roses." M e a n w h i l e , o u t Massachusetts way* Ted Kennedy was being wooed for the second spot. But Ted had long before turned camera shy and protested that he wanted to sit this one out. He just shook his head again, observing, "They Didn't Believe Me", to which George is said to have sadly wailed, "I Can Dream, Can't I"? Then another fuddle took place. The huddlers" agreed on Missouri's Thomas Eagleton, hardly "The Talk Of The Town" for a running mate. N e v e r t h e l e s s , M c G o v e r n suggested in his most soothing tone to the Senator that "You Tell Me Your Dream, I'll Tell You Mine". He did, and George did, and they sealed the bargain with a duet, "As Long As You Need Me". The outcome was a joint decision that "This May Be The Start Of Something Big". But the vote left disappointed office seekers with only "A Boulevard Of Broken Dreams". On the whole, the convention had something for everybody - even the commercials had their hour. For personal glory, one 1 somebody after another kept getting a big hand for not eating lettuce. Not to be outdone, the states did a bit of boasting too. Actually, it seemed a waste of time since most of us know you can't beat Idaho potatoes. It was all part of the musical game, "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better". And then there was one Frank King, who headed the Ohio delegation. Frank became a national celebrity for a day, mostly because he couldn't count. The little man gave a stellar portrayal of Victor H e r b e r t ' s m e m o r a b l e character who admitted, "I Can't Do The Sum". There was other humor too, but some of it came so late at night, during the vice- presidential nominations, that most of us had followed the advice, "Let's Turn Out The Lights And^elp) Bed". is a big part of any show{ and the Democrats' bid true emotional impact was to be denied in the hotel lobby scene. A courageous George confronted radicals of one sort or another who kept asking him questions and refusing to listen to his an­ swers. A calm, cool presidential candidate finally gave up, and with a serious demeanor concluded the scene with his dramatic declaration, "I've Got To Be Me". And so the big musical show came to a close. Just moments after the last vote declared McGovern "in", glances turned toward the Capitol in Washington - as confident Democrats chanted, "Who's Afraid Of The Big, Bad Wolf' and "We Shall Overcome". All but one - Candidate George. In almost a whispered tone, if you listened carefully you could hear him question voters everywhere as he lowly > sang a revised version of, "Will You Love Me In December As You Do In May?"

CONSUMERS' cornerc£&2L: Home Study Schools On August 14, 1972, the Feder­ al Trade Commission guides for the business practices of home study and vocational schools will ' go into effect. The guides forbid deceptive sales practices and ad­ vertising. They will apply to any person or group that prepares students for employment in work requir­ ing mechanical, artistic, or cleri­ cal skills. They will also govern „ schools aimed at helping students improve appearance, social graces or personality. The FTC guides do not, however, cover accredited schools offering college level studies. The guides will attempt to eli­ minate deceptive sales practices and deceptive names. The guides forbid any false suggestions that a school is accredited by a state agency or that its courses are ap­ proved by vocational counselors or employment agencies. Regard­ ing facilities and services, schools may not misrepresent their facil­ ities, services, or the qualifica­ tions of their instructors.
